Bloggsie,
So they bought JT in Jan
They did not buy Jandakot. The airport remains property of the federal government. They took over the lease to operate it as an airport in accordance with the master plan signed by the Minister. However as they know, for them to continue to purport that they actually own the field will give them more credibility to the general public.
The safety concerns are merely a distraction. Lets not beat around the bush here, Ascot want to move Jandakot for one reason and one reason only and that is to make money. You only have to hear what occurs at one of the consultation meetings to quickly realize they do not have a clue about anything to do with aviation safety, aircraft operations or running an airport.
Their thin veneer of deceipt is well and truly being peeled back to the point now where even people not working in the industry know what a pack of untruths and deception the Arid consultancy is pedaliing. The good thing for us is that they have actually put themselves on the public record and been easily proven to be the liars that they are.
